Features to Consider Before Making the Purchase
Consider the many features of sleeping bag liners before you go choose one randomly. You will first have to choose if you want either:
- A Mummy Shaped Liner: These are made to slide directly into your sleeping bag. It will keep your sleeping bag clean from dirt and oils.
- Rectangular Shaped Liner: These are made for using by themselves or inside of a sleeping bag. These are also meant to keep you separated from your bedding if you are ever in a place that is not very clean. Using a liner can be the difference from getting bit by bed bugs or staying safe.

- Cotton: Cotton is known for being a strong material as well as absorbent and it lasts a long time. While it is not that light or compact, it is priced just right.
- Fleece: Fleece and micro fleece are up to 12 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than other materials, and are considerably heavier. They are also very soft, wick off moisture and dry fast. Some of the fleece liners are bulky, but the price is not too bad for this material.
- Synthetic: Synthetic materials, for the CoolMax liners, wick away moisture, can breathe easier than other materials, and is great for humid weather. With a moderate price range, it is definitely worth a look.

You can find these moderately priced, but some insulated liners will be expensive.
Other Factors
- Warmth: Consider the weather in the area in which you are camping. What season is it? You do not want to be too cold or too warm. However, if you are too warm, you can always take off layers of clothing in order to cool off. If the weather is humid, consider a liner that is climate controlled.
- Breathability: If you are someone who needs their materials to breathe, consider a cotton or silk material over something synthetic or insulated.
- Drying Speed: Some materials dry faster than others. So if this is an important factor for you, consider cotton over fleece, for example.
- Durability: While most liners are made to take a beating, some fabrics do last longer than others. If durability is an important factor for you, look for liners with materials that are made to last.
- Comfort: Some fabrics are more comfortable than others. Some people prefer the feeling of cotton or fleece over silk. This one is all about personal preference.
